Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 7 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"She fainted, and was restored with extreme difficulty. When she again lived, it was only to weep and sigh. She told me, that that same evening William had teased her to let him wear a very valuable miniature that she possessed of your mother. This picture is gone, and was doubtless the temptation which urged the murderer to the deed. We have no trace of him at present, although our exertions to discover him are unremitted; but they will not restore my beloved William!
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Come, Victor; not brooding thoughts of vengeance against the assassin, but with feelings of peace and gentleness, that will heal, instead of festering, the wounds of our minds. Enter the house of mourning, my friend, but with kindness and affection for those who love you, and not with hatred for your enemies.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
